Tracks in the Sand

Most of the horses are black and brown, but sometimes they are lighter colors. They eat mostly the wild grasses that grow on the island. People should not try to pet or feed the horses because they have been known to kick and bite. However, most of the horses are friendly and can be seen frolicking in the surf and running on the dunes like little children on a sunny summer day.
The horses are protected by the state and have a sanctuary on Currituck Island. The Corolla Wild Horse Fund was set up in 1989 to protect the horses and receives donations for their welfare.
Mark Littleton, a former pastor and youth pastor, is a writer and a speaker at churches, retreats, conferences, and other Christian gatherings. He is happily married to Jeanette Gardner and has three children, Nicole, Alisha, and Gardner, also known as Gard-zilla the Destroyer because, at three years old, he is able to destroy whole cities when left unattended for more than thirty seconds. Mark and his family have a dog named Patches and a cat named Beauty, who is afraid of the dog. Mark collects lighthouses, original paintings of ships, and hundred dollar bills. He is willing to add any contributions you might wish to make to his collections, especially the hundred dollar bill collection.
